STILLWATER, USA - With the new-for-2009 KICKER^® Marine Component Speaker System, boat captains can bring quality sound to any water party.   

The KICKER KM6250.2 consists of two 6-inch, boat-ready midrange speakers with removable external crossovers, and a pair of premium one-inch tweeters. It brings marine speaker engineering to the forefront, all while delivering remarkable sound quality.

KICKER Marine midrange speakers are engineered using MAXBasket Geometry^TM, providing oversized, louder 6.5-inch cones that perform in speaker baskets designed for a standard 5-inch cutout hole. That means more bang for the buck!

Additionally, if depth issues are impeding midrange installation, the external crossovers (2-way, 18dB/octave high-pass and 12dB/octave low-pass at 4kHz) can be conveniently removed from the speakers and mounted nearby, freeing up plenty of working space. The tweeters are designed for flush, surface, or angle mounting.

UV treatments on the midranges' injection-molded cones, Santoprene^TM surrounds, baskets, and grilles help them to last in freshwater or saltwater environments. These speakers can endure most any weather conditions with splash- and spray-resisting sealed motors, cones, and locking terminal covers. And if that weren't enough, they come packaged with ample wiring for running to the power amplifier in a large vessel.

Water-resistant, bolt-thru grilles, with a bold look and easy-to-match metallic color, offer added speaker protection. All hardware is made from rustproof, 316L stainless-steel. KICKER Marine Components meet or exceed industry standards for environmental humidity and corrosion* and for material degradation due to UV exposure.**

To eliminate confusion within the boat's navigation system, KICKER uses the highest level of magnetic shielding available to minimize compass and gauge deviation in the dash.

KICKER is a member of the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC), a leader in education for the marine industry, and the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), which supports the U.S. recreational boating industry.
